Encounters with Aliens on this Day

August 14

1947
- According to files released by the FBI through FOIA requests in the
1970s, at 10:40 a.m. at least two crescent-shaped objects zig-zagged
past a military aircraft twice while the plane was flying near Guam over the Pacific Ocean. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, December 1977; NICAP UFO Investigator, February 1978, p. 4)

1947 - At around nine o'clock in the morning R. L. Johannis of Raveo,
Italy
saw a 10 meter wide, red domed, disc-shaped object with an antenna on
top, on the ground across an ice field. There were two dwarfs less
than three feet tall near the craft, wearing dark blue coveralls with
red collars and belts. They had oversized heads and greenish toned
faces. Their eyes were huge, without eyelashes or eyebrows but
surrounded by some kind of ring-like muscle. The beings had greenish
hands with eight talon-like fingers. They wore something similar to
crash helmets. When he waved his ice axe at them in a friendly gesture,
one of the beings discharged a thin puff of smoke or "vapor" at him
which knocked him down, and the witness started to suffocate, feeling
at the same time a strong electrical discharge. (Sources: Solas

to each other. They later got back aboard and took off, flying off
toward the northeast. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer database, case #
1951, citing Maurizio Verga, ITACAT, CISU website).

1955 - On this afternoon in Dogtown, Indiana a woman swimming in the Ohio River,
a Mrs. Johnson, had her left leg grabbed by a hairy creature with
large claws. It pulled her under the water twice, and she was left with
scratches and brushes. A shiny round object was seen in the sky across
the river a few minutes later. (Sources: Evansville Press, August 15, 1955; Isabel L. Davis & Ted Bloecher, Close Encounter at Kelly and Others of 1955, p. 181; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case # A0377).

1957
- AT 8:55 p.m. a red domed disc-shaped object with a green dome buzzed
a Varig Airlines C-47 flying near Joinville, Santa Catarina province, Brazil.
It caused temporary disruption of the performance of the engines
and the electrical system. The reception of the airplane's radio was
suddenly interrupted when the red disc approached the plane, while the
cabin lights also dimmed. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, September 1959, p. 5; UNICAT, case # 553; Coral E. Lorenzen, Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion from Outer Space, p. 153, citing Olavo T. Fontes; MUFON UFO Journal, August 1992).

1957 - In Preston, Waterloo county, Ontario
at 10:30 p.m. a bright fiery, circular object followed two teenage
girls. During the next five minutes it first moved away and then
came back again. The women were reported to be suffering from
conjunctivitis of the eyes. (Source: Galt (ON) Evening Reporter, August 15, 1957; John Magor, Canadian UFO Report, July 1969; Loren E. Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: UFOs: A History. 1957: August-September, p. 32).

1965 - On this day on the banks of the river in Cruzeiro, Santa Catarina province, Brazil,
a little man only 28" tall, introduced himself to a fisherman
named Joao do Rio as a UFOnaut. He had large luminous eyes, and spoke
perfect Portuguese. He gave Sr. do Rio an "unearthly" metal. The metal
was given to the national railroad car factory for analysis. At
8:00 p.m. that same evening a motorist had a close encounter with a
black, 90-meter-wide domed disc, which hovered silently over a
highway southwest of Itabira, Minas Gerais province, Brazil.
The craft hovered just 1.2 meters above the surface of the road, and it
followed the contours of the terrain when it departed. (Sources: (1) Baltimore Sun, August 16, 1965; John Keel, Strange Creatures From Time and Space, p. 151; (2) Irene Granchi, UFO Abductions and Reports from Brazil, p. 39).

1965 - At around 10:00 p.m. two
youngsters, Marc & Luc Lafreniere, were in their home in Ville Lemoyne, Quebec, Canada
when a strong light attracted them to the window. Looking outside they
saw a large oval-shaped craft floating just above the ground. A tall
humanoid figure with long dangling arms, and wearing a silvery
jumpsuit, stood in front of the craft. The being walked towards the
house and touched the front door briefly, and then returned to the
craft, while the terrified witnesses hid in their room. They did not
dare look to see the craft or the alien depart. (Source: Albert S.
Rosales, 1965 Humanoid Contact Database, citing Marc
Leduc, CASUFO).

1965 - At 11:00 p.m. five people driving in a car in Salto, Uruguay
heard a loud hum and saw a UFO land directly in front of their car,
causing the engine to stall. Its brilliant white luminescence changed
colors from red to yellow and green. The object itself, a leaden
metallic color, stood nine feet high and was as wide as the road. Three
beings inside the craft, who looked human, were illuminated by an
interior green light and could be seen moving around inside the craft.
Finally, with a burst of orange flame, the object rose vertically into
the sky and vanished. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher,

1967 - Two days after the St. Louis de Kent humanoid encounter
in New Brunswick, Canada an unidentified woman from St. Charles,
New Brunswick reported sighting a similar figure in the woods near
the same road. The Richibucto RCMP searched the area. Although they
located a man dressed in black, he had was no apparent connection with the
encounters. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT:

At around eight o'clock in the evening six witnesses, including a
46-year-old woman, watched as a two-meter long cigar-shaped object
descended to only 11 meters altitude near the shoreline, then divided
into two parts. One part rose into the sky, while the other dropped
down into the sea. (Source: Vicente Juan Ballester-Olmos, Catalogue of 200 Type-I UFO Events in Spain and Portugal, case # 144, citing field investigator Jose Ruesga).

at the Greengate Mall two men taking a short-cut behind the Mall
observed a huge, gorilla-like creature run across the
railroad tracks. The creature was said to be about 40 feet away,
and the presence of a strong odor at the same time was noted. A
bloodhound team searched the area, but found nothing. A cigar-shaped
UFO was seen in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that same night at 9:35 p.m. (Source: Stan Gordon, on-site investigations, MUFON 1974 UFO Symposium Proceedings, p. 136; John Green, Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us, p. 260).

spotted a UFO that was triangle shaped at first, but later changed to
an oval shape. The object displayed lights that changed color and
pattern. (Source: Curt Sutherly, UFO Mysteries: A Reporter Seeks the Truth, p. 204).

1999 - At 11:30 p.m. Sr. Attilio B. of Bassano del Grappa, Italy had
gone out to the field next to his home in order to relieve himself when
he noticed some nearby multicolored lights coming from a field behind
him. Investigating more closely, he saw a very large circular object
hovering about two meters off the ground. The craft was somewhat turtle
shaped, and was about 30 meters in diameter. The top part of the object
was completely transparent, so much so that it appeared almost
"invisible". The lower part consisted of a green platform that had a
hollow central section, like a donut. He could not see any instruments
inside the craft, but he could see five occupants inside a well-lit
white dome. He described them as short in stature, about 80 cm tall,
with large heads. According to the witness, their heads somewhat
resembled those of donkeys, because they had extremely long faces and
their heads were covered with short black, curly hair. They had large
round black eyes about 5 cm in diameter that were very close together.
Their noses were large and "potato" like. Their mouths were large and
wide, resembling those of a monkey, with large meaty lips. On each side
of their heads were two large pointy ears, like those of a wolf. Their
skin was light brown in color and their hands had six digits. As the
witness watched, one of the humanoids made a gesture, which he
interpreted as a salute. The humanoids wore tight-fitting yellow
outfits that went up to their short necks. Their footgear resembled
pointy sandals, similar to those worn by "Gondoliers." He continued his
observation, feeling a sense of "joy and tranquility." He believed that
the humanoids were gentle and kind. One of the humanoids seemed to be
counting some yellow paper-like objects resembling banknotes. The whole
incident unfolded in complete silence. After about a minute and a half,
the object lifted up vertically, disappearing from the area at very
high speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Reports database,
citing Antonio Chiumiento).

2001 - Starting at 10:45 p.m. and for the next 15 minutes, twelve white objects were seen performing maneuvers over Strathroy, Ontario, Canada.
They were first seen in a triangle, which then formed into a
circle, and they performed aerial aerobatics for the next several
minutes. (Source: Geoff Dittman, 2001 Canadian UFO Survey Report, case
# 235, citing National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle).

2009 - A huge triangle-shaped object with spectacular lights was seen zooming from the horizon in Chebanse, Iroquis County, Illinois
at around 10 p.m. According to the witness, it was at a low
altitude,"just about 12 feet above the ground," and came as close as
500 feet away. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center,
